Sounds great. Personally I am interested in a simple Happy Birthday email once a year on their birthday.
(just my input if you find it useful)That did several good things for our forum - makes people feel good, old email address that bounce would be tested periodically and dealt with, etc.
That would be great if it also incorporated a sidebar block displaying current birthdays.
The existing add-on which does that has been abandoned unfortunately.

To clerify this, because people ask this always per conversation => The "big add-ons" where i need to give much support and which needs several hours/days for coding are released on ragtek.org because it's easier to track the bugs & suggestions, everything else is available here @ xenforo.com
Also i don't sell my add-ons there, all premium members have access to ALL released add-ons, so i "sell" only the access.....

Nobody wants to test this?
I like this being developed, it should be similar to..
Email Reminder for inactive users

No worries, i'll release it as beta next week here, so everybody can play around with itSomeone please test it
I would but my xF site is a small one and ragtek needs some big boards to test it out.

The thing about "inactive emails" or "reminder emails" is that they're not engaging. The user hasn't visited for a reason (they didn't like the community, they forgot, they got pissed off, etc). Just saying something like, "Hey, did you forget about us? Cause we didn't forget about you." doesn't cut it.
Newsletters work well because they contain information. They engage the reader. They're not as easily dismissed as reminder emails.
Now, somehow combine the two and you have a winning combination. Create a newsletter or an engaging email, then send it to those that haven't visited your community in 30, 60, 120 days (w/e). "WOW" them back to your community.

I don't think so.
If i didn't visit a community for > 6 months, i don't care about the last 10 topics and the newest 5 members and only because of these data, i'll not visit the community again.
If i'm interessted in the topic of the community, i'll check it again, if not then not
BUT it shouldn't be hard to create a second add-on which manipulates this and which inserts the last posts
Maybe i'll code it too, but for that's i have a seperate add-on

You're .02¢ is welcomed. Discussion and collaboration is what makes this community special.
Yeah, "last 10 topics and the newest 5 members" is not what I was talking about. The newsletter we're currently writing includes:
